Popular Abstract in Undetermined All of our present information technology culture with computers, internet, smart-phones, Bluetooth links, 3D-Tv, iPad tablets, programmable washing/cooking machines, car engines, navigation computers, etc. (the list goes on and on) is based on small electrical circuits. The smaller these circuits can be made, the faster and the better microelectronics can perform.Present-day electronics employ circuits of smaller and smaller dimensions, and today the length scales are so small that the laws of physics which rule micro-cosmos, quantum mechanics, become directly important. This thesis reports on theoretical work on electron transport in different nanostructures. We have studied semiconductor quantum wells, layered materials where each layer can be only a few

Purpose: Recently, there has been a growing interest in operating medical linear accelerators without a flattening filter Due to reduced scatter, leaf transmission and radiation head leakage a reduction of out-of-field dose is expected for flattening filter free beams. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of unflattened beams on peripheral dose for advanced treatment techniques

Mental disorders are associated with premature mortality, and the magnitudes of risk have commonly been estimated using hospital data. However, psychiatric patients who are hospitalized have more severe illness and do not adequately represent mental disorders in the general population. We conducted a national cohort study using outpatient and inpatient diagnoses for the entire Swedish adult popula

Eighteen healthy sedentary males took part in supervised bicycle training for 50 minutes three to five times a week. Twelve subjects (group A) trained for 6 weeks at heavy intensity, and six subjects (group B) trained for 12 weeks at moderate intensity. Maximal oxygen uptake increased by about 20% (P less than 0.01). Body weight and composition as well as diet remained unchanged. After 6 weeks pla

Context: The age-related decline in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels is thought to be of importance for general and vascular aging. However, data on the association between DHEA and mortality are conflicting. Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that low serum DHEA and DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S) levels predict all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) death in elderly men. Design, Setting, and Par

BACKGROUND: Cyclin A1 is a cell cycle regulator that has been implicated in the progression of prostate cancer. Its role in invasion and metastasis of this disease has not been characterized. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and cDNA microarray analyses were used to assess protein and mRNA expression of cyclin A1 and proteins with roles in metastasis, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEG

We used stochastic dynamic programming to investigate a spectacular migration strategy in the black brant Branta bernicla nigricans, a species of goose. Black brant migration is well suited for theoretical analysis since there are a number of existing strategies that easily can be compared. In early autumn, almost the entire population of the black brant gathers at Izembek Lagoon on the Alaska Pen

Objectives: Open abdomen (OA) treatment is sometimes necessary after surgery for aortic aneurysm (AA), to prevent or treat abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). A multicentre study evaluating vacuum-assisted wound closure (100-150 mmHg) and mesh-mediated fascial traction (VAWCM) was performed. Methods: All patients treated with OA after AA repair (2006-2009) were prospectively registered at four c

English Title: "The unquestionable tuition of music theory". During my years as a musician and a musical student, I have encountered many prejudices when it comes to views on music played by ear and the routines and discourses belonging to its creation and performance. I have experienced that there is a concealed hierarchical view on different styles of music, particularly amongst those

OBJECTIVES: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is a promising alternative to traditional opioid-based anesthesia. Research indicates that OFA reduces postoperative opioid consumption and related adverse effects while maintaining effective pain control and patient safety. Despite these benefits, clinical adoption of OFA remains limited, possible due to gaps in evidence. To bridge this knowledge gap, a we

Previously, it has been indicated that oat polar lipids included in a liquid meal may have the potential to beneficially modulate various cardiometabolic variables. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of oat polar lipids in a solid food matrix on acute and second meal glucose tolerance, blood lipids, and concentrations of gut-derived hormones. The oat polar lipids were consumed a

Background: The optimal imaging follow-up after infrarenal EVAR is still undefined. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of a personalized follow-up program after infrarenal EVAR based on ultrasound AAA diameter measurements for low-risk patients. Methods: All consecutive patients followed-up locally after elective and acute infrarenal EVAR between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively re

Purpose: The quantitative accuracy of Nuclear Medicine images, acquired for both planar and SPECT studies, is influenced by the isotope-collimator combination as well as image corrections incorporated in the iterative reconstruction process. These factors can be investigated and optimised using Monte Carlo simulations. This study aimed to evaluate SPECT quantification accuracy for 123I with both t

Sweden has seen an increased number of homeless EU citizens over the last years. There is no consensus among Swedish municipalities on how to handle the issue of housing for vulnerable EU citizens. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the right to housing and why vulnerable EU citizens cannot access the right. The issue is studied on three levels – human rights law, EU law and domestic Swedish

Syftet med denna uppsats är att kritiskt granska ändamålen med nämndemän för att ta reda på om dessa är välgrundade. Syftet är vidare att undersöka om några önskvärda förändringar kan göras för att uppnå ett mer ändamålsenligt system. Den rättsdogmatiska metoden har tillämpats för att klargöra för det nuvarande systemet med nämndemän samt om regleringen kring systemet borde förändras. Framförallt The aim of this essay is to critically examine the values of laymen in court to find out if these are justified. Furthermore, the purpose is to see if any desirable changes could be made to achieve a system more conform with the intentions of laymen. The essay has been written through a method that allows legally accepted sources to be used to clarify the Swedish system with laymen and whether the

Background: The current lack of knowledge among entrepreneurs to manage the e-commerce market has created an increased need for incubator activities and the support that incubators can assist entrepreneurs with. Incubators intend to contribute with support for companies by assisting with various services where the success of business development can lie in different combinations of these services

Uppsatsens syfte är först och främst att besvara vilken betydelse domstolen tillerkänner umgängessabotage vid beslutande av vårdnad och hur en part som begår sabotage i slutändan kan tillerkännas ensam vårdnad, och vilka intressen som i så fall väger tyngre än sabotaget. Det är utifrån dessa frågeställningar som hela uppsatsens struktur är uppbyggd. Uppsatsen börjar med att redogöra relevanta lagrThe purpose of the essay is first and foremost to give answer to two questions, the first being how seriously the court views visitation sabotage in a custody battle, while deciding who should be awarded sole custody of the child. The second question is regarding the cases where the court decides to award custody to the guardian that does commit visitation sabotage and to get insight in what inter

Popular Abstract in English The word “combustion” describes a number of physical and chemical processes, whose common characteristic is an interaction between fuel and oxygen and their subsequent transformation into products, such as CO2 and water. Even though the process is often described as a single chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen, in reality, their chemical transformation requires maThe laminar burning velocity and the flame structure are common targets for combustion studies aimed at detailed kinetic model development. In the present work, fuels relevant to hydrogen combustion were considered. The laminar burning velocity of rich and lean hydrogen flames was studied experimentally and numerically, including its pressure dependence in rich mixtures and temperature dependence
